[Super Clipboard][iOS] - Swizzle Flutter method to say that we can paste even when binary data is on the clipboard
We recently implemented image pasting by swizzling Flutter's iOS framework paste method. This successfully let us paste images.
However, Flutter also has a method that answers the question "is there anything to paste?". On the iOS simulator this answers "yes" when pasting images. But on physical iOS devices, this answers "no" when pasting images. The supposed difference is that the simulator saves the image's file path to the clipboard, making it look like string text is available. But on a physical device, only the binary data is saved, so Flutter can't find any strings on the clipboard, and reports "no".
We need to swizzle this additional behavior to say "yes" when there is binary data to paste.
